I feel like if my mid-to-late 20s were about exploring possibilities and saying yes to things that scare me, my early 30s are about identifying my boundaries and saying no to things that don’t serve my values

like. not all challenges (difficult things) are challenges (summons to the test) and also not all summons are worthy

#when we spend time on tumblr we think out loud on tumblr #and I've been seeing so many of those posts about the beauty and wonder of aging #and I'm in my feelings about it #yes I shouldn't let fear prevent me from saying yes but the reverse is not also true; being afraid doesn't mean I'm supposed to say yes #just because I could doesn't mean I should #yes if I worked really hard I could spin [new temp/part time gig] into a re-entry into my field #maybe #but also that is not a path I am meant for #and perhaps I don't know where I'm going now #but I do know it's not across the country again #to hear myself think
